I'm afraid of the GM price increase in the US. I feel really sorry for the folks in the UK. If the price of GM shawls is over $1,200 then I think I am going to be sitting on the sidelines or only allow myself 1 per season. The price of these were already ridiculous.

GM Shawl in UK is now £840 and the prices are already increased on the website 😔😔
 
Just had a long appointment with my local SA yesterday in the USA. She said that the price increase dates are going to be by item type and GMs will increase on Jan 21st, home goods on Jan 17th, etc.

I think I better purchase another shawl from my wish list soon! Thanks for keeping us all posted! Do you think bags will be going up on the 14th still?
 
Further sad details about the US price increase - that 6% is just the bottom of a range of increases! different amounts for different items - up to 31%!?! I'm thinking (hoping?) that the 31% will be the maxi twilly.

Prices in the US still the same (for the moment).

31% ??? so steep!!! I wonder too what will increase soooo much....! We have grown accustomed to more "modest" increases.:p
 
Canada seems all right from the web site…
Just travelled back from Taiwan - - - everything seems more expensive than in Canada.
Got a scarf ring just for a souvenir, it was 7,700NTD, when we were checking out, the SA told me the price tag was not updated but the the price increased to 8,100 NTD since 1 Jan, that was about 5%...

It's because it is more expensive in Canada. A GM shawl here is $1,370, that's $245 more than the US not including our 13% tax. Even with the dollar difference, it doesn't make sense to me.

Is it wrong to move to another country to support a H addiction? :D

Nico, do you have any intel on price increase in canada? I was told that there won't be one in 2014 that the SAs are aware of, except in fragrance and watches.

Even my SA tells me to buy what I can when I'm in the States. How nuts is that? :laugh: God bless her though!

Jenny, my SA said there wasn't anything she was aware of when I asked her around Christmas time. I'm going to stop by this weekend to pick up some stuff, so I can ask again to just confirm.:smile1:

Thanks for the information. Gives me more time to get another shawl. It has been too cold to get up to the store. I've been looking at the 90 scarves as well on H.com, love the colors.

That would be great. Please keep me in the loop as well!
 
I saw my SA today ... bags are the 16th and fine jewelry (including silver) is not until the 19th. Costume jewelery is the first thing to go up, on the 13th. So if there's an enamel bracelet you want, get it fast!
